Interesting. Rich is powder coating before he ships. He has some black wheels on his web page. I asked which designs came in black and he said all of them. I also asked if it will impact performance of the wheel and he said no. He offered 2 ways to paint them and powder coat was cheaper. The hub covers can't be powder coated, so he is doing them the other way, but he says they will match.

Maybe he only trusts his powder coater?

Maybe. I only asked about pc'ing my already finished wheels. I never asked about him doing the pc'ing. I'm just they'll be awesome when they're complete.

I agree! I think I've put in the money and mods to get there, but I'm not interested in giving up my M6 . I have a few minor upgrades in the mail and need to spend some time on my tune (w/Bill) after they arrive. I'm expecting to be around 825wrhp. I'm hoping with a little more practice, i can get to 10.5.

I'm thinking if i can get a 10.5 that a good driver can break into the 9s. The questions is given I don't like anyone to work on my car besides me...would i really consider letting someone else drive it...hmmm.

You know the DA formula to correct your ET time to sea level...I need a calculation to correct my times for my poor driving .

We'll see...i'm at 11.1 with a sloppy run that had boost spike, lean spike & knocking that resulted in pulled timing. And it was close to a 1.9s 60" ...man, if i could drop that to a 1.6 (huge if), that alone would have me at 10.5.
